Deep vein blood clots typically form in your thigh or lower leg, but they can also develop in other areas of your body. • डीप वेन थ्रो륍बोलसस (DVT) एक गंभीर स्स्थनत है जो तब होती है जब आपके शरीर के अंदर स्स्थत लशरा मᴂ रक्त का थक्का बन जाता है। • एक रक्त का थक्का ठोस रक्त होता है । डीप वेन ब्िड क्िॉ絍स आमतौर पर आपकी जांघ या ननचिे पैर मᴂ बनते हℂ, िेककन ये आपके शरीर के अन्य क्षेत्रⴂ मᴂ भी ववकलसत हो सकते हℂ। 27 28 ● The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 is meant for a national framework on farming agreements that protects and empowers farmers to engage with agri- business firms, processors, wholesalers, exporters or large retailers for farm services and sale of future farming produce at a mutually agreed remunerative price framework in a transparent manner. ● The other Bill - Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 - is meant to provide for the creation of an ecosystem where the farmers and traders enjoy the freedom of choice relating to sale and purchase of produce through competitive alternative trading channels to promote efficient, transparent and barrier-free inter-state and intra-state trade. ● Backdoor laws ● Let us begin by noticing the timing and the method of these ordinances. Even the advocates of these laws agree that none of these have anything to do with the coronavirus or the lockdown. ● These changes do not even pretend to address the demands or the acute needs of the farmers during this period of distress. So, its inclusion in the Covid ‘relief package’ was purely a distraction. There is nothing so urgent in any of these three laws that calls for bypassing Parliament through an ordinance. These measures have been debated for decades and could wait a few months for Parliament to reconvene. ● Besides, it is not clear what gives the Modi government the power to legislate upon agriculture and intra-state trade, which are state subjects. True, trade and commerce of ‘foodstuff’ is in the concurrent list, but if states have the right to pass APMC Acts, surely they have the jurisdiction to bypass APMCs. In any case, there is not even a constitutional fig-leaf that gives the central government the power to legislate on contract farming. Prima facie, the FAPAFS is unconstitutional.

  • Teaching and Propagation of Hindi in Canada
    Teaching and Propagation of Hindi with success in Canada प्रो. रत्नाकर नराले दी प्रशिक्षण के ित-प्रशतित यि की नयी प्रणालीﴂह 1. SHORT HISTORY In Canada, until about last 40 years ago, one would hardly find any Hindi speaking people, and even if you find a Hindi speaking person, he or she would feel shy and hesitate to speak Hindi in a public place. This was the case in Toronto, which has mild winter and is the biggest, most populated, most developing and most cosmopolitan city in Canada, followed by Vancouver. The situation in rest of Canada was even poorer. Then on, in about next ten years, first major development was foundation of the Hindi Pracharini Sabha by Prof. Harishankar Adesh and Shiam Tripathi group, with Hindi Chetna as their tri-monthly mini magazine. In addition, numerous individual poetic groups sprung all across Canada, main hub being Toronto. The main activity and interest of these organizations was to gather for a Poetic Meet (kavi sammelan), in which Poets would read their beautiful creations to other poets and the gathering. The poems may then get published in magazines, space permitting. Then Prof. Narale came up with a philosophy, which was one time published with much appreciation in Sahitya Amrit, New Delhi. His assertion was that the poetic groups are a wonderful activity, but the question is “where is the propagation of Hindi, if a poet reads his poem in front of four other poets or Hindi lovers, and at the end have tea and Samosa.

  • Hindi Roundtable Discussion
    Hindi Roundtable Discussion In collaboration with the World Hindi Secretariat, Mauritius, The University of Fiji organized a Hindi Roundtable Discussion on 14 October 2020 on the theme "Progressive Future and Hindi." Speaking at the debate, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shaista Shameem, said that language is an integral part of the culture. “Language and culture are indispensably related. We mustn’t be casual about our language because the language gives us an insight into the culture. Language and culture are about emotion and not necessarily about politics,” she said. Mrs. Manisha Ramrakha, the Chairperson of the Roundtable discussion, spoke about a true incident taken from “Kisaan Sangh Ka Itihaas” (1931), of Pundit Ayodhya Prasad Sharma’s life and sacrifice to promote Hindi and cultural values. Pundit Sharma sacrificed his teaching job but did not compromise the quality of Hindi and cultural values and ethics that he wanted to teach the students. She said the theme of the Roundtable was inspired by this incident to encourage the current generation to plan strategies for a progressive future of Hindi. Mr. Naresh Chand, Lecturer, Fiji National University, questioned on the dropouts in students studying Hindi Language. He said that we are not against the English Language.
